The 24th annual Mama’s Day 2015 on May 8 raised $176,500 for Mama’s Kitchen, a nonprofit organization that prepares and delivers hot, nutrition-specific meals for free to people affected by AIDS or cancer throughout San Diego County.

"Participating in Pie in the Sky isn’t exactly like being able to break bread with someone, but it does allow them to do that with their own family, and on a daily basis. This event is a great coming-together of many things I value.”
